Taken much too soon. He was a prodigy for his age, though.

Regarding long-term hospice from personal experience. My grandmother was put in Hospice in January 2021 to avoid going back to the hospital and to slowly take her off her medications, similar to Jimmy right now. She died just before Christmas that year. Her quality of life was slipping, but she wasn't at death's door until her last month. So with Jimmy, it could be next week, it could be the end of the year. Like Jimmy, she was a tough old bird, making several recoveries when we thought it would be the end. God bless Jimmy and Rosalynn as they're both in such a difficult time right now. Such great and faithful servants.

on this day 77 years ago, future President and future First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter got married.

Saw someone on Facebook reminding us that The Sun have form where paying large amounts of money for explicit images to teenagers is concerned:

Mel Blanc died on this day 34 years ago, aged 81. - Blanc got his start in radio in 1927, and was particularly known for roles on The Jack Benny Program. - In 1936, Blanc would join Leon Schlesinger Productions (soon to be folded into Warner Bros. Animation) as a voice actor, and would become the second voice of Porky Pig the following year. In the same short he debuted as Porky's voice, Daffy Duck also made his first appearance, and he would also be voiced by Blanc. Bugs Bunny made his debut in 1940, and Blanc would voice Bugs up to his cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in 1988. - Blanc was initially cast as Gideon the cat in Disney's Pinocchio, but the character would eventually be made mute. However, a hiccup Blanc provided would be used three times in the finished movie. - Blanc voiced Woody Woodpecker in his first three cartoons, and created his iconic laugh. - During World War II, Blanc would often lend his voice to wartime propaganda cartoons, which included the Private Snafu series produced by the US Army: - After the expiration of his contract with Warner Bros. Blanc would often voice characters in Hanna-Barbera cartoons- most notably Barney and Dino in The Flintstones, Secret Squirrel, and Mr. Spacely in The Jetsons; the latter would be his final voice acting role for 1990's Jetsons: The Movie. - Blanc was in a serious car crash in 1961 which left him comatose- his doctors slowly brought him out of it by addressing his characters while he was unconscious, and Blanc responded in-character in a weak voice. Daws Butler voiced Barney Rubble during Blanc's absence, and Warner Bros. wanted Stan Freberg to voice Bugs- Freberg declined out of respect for Blanc. - Blanc's last words were telling his son Noel that he loved him- in Yosemite Sam's voice. Engraved on his tombstone is Porky Pig's most famous quote:

James "the Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe is 43.

TMZ finds Foxx in public for the first time since his hospitalization, on a mega boat waving and smiling, looking healthy. They also report he's been on his feet a lot this weekend.

Victim of elder abuse Delon's assistant has become "more and more aggressive, disparaging and offensive towards him and his children," according to his family lawyer. She has also been mistreating his dog. I hope this doesn't finish him off.

Signs of a growing split as the GRG only reports Ushi Makishi as "limbo", while Longeviquest got her date of death straight from the family. I believe Longeviquest will become the standard in the future.

Snowflake. Oh look, you also edited out the second bit of your post. Coward.

Even I can perform that piece!

Dunno, he'd have to live a couple of weeks between election victory and the traditional ales and banter that picks the top 50.
